How this will help

One decision could forever change the future of
grey wolves in United States. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is
proposing to remove all Endangered Species Act (ESA) protections for all
wolves, except the Mexican Gray wolves. Yes, you
read that correctly.

Please
send an urgent message to Secretary of Interior Sally Jewell — demand that the
federal government not turn its back on wolves when there is still more
important wolf recovery work that needs to be done. This
proposal reflects an unacceptable and short-sighted vision of our conservation
goals, and would give up on wolf recovery well before the job is done; a true
conservation tragedy! Delisting would prematurely turn wolf
management over to the states, and we've already seen what has happened when
rabid anti-wolf politics is allowed to trump science and core wildlife
management principals. Montana, Wyoming and Idaho — all
states where wolves have been delisted — are not treating wolves like other
wildlife such as elk and bears. Instead they're driving the wolves' population
numbers back down to the bottom.
